Exhibition Loan Request

How to request a loan

Before submitting your request we strongly recommend you carry out preliminary research well in advance of the application deadline.

The collections and catalogues pages provide useful information about material we hold. Our curators are happy to give advice and guidance on our collections and what items may be suitable for your exhibition. Please contact registrar@nls.uk to be put in touch with a curator about your loan request.

When you know exactly what you would like to borrow, you can use this form to make a request. If you are requesting a large number of items it may be easier to email the details to registrar@nls.uk.
